This is just a little thing inspired by www.oneword.com that I may build a story upon. I was wondering if you would like to see that or not. Let me know what you think.I retreat into myself, hiding away all of my secrets; retreat behind that mask I have worn for so long, because I am terrified of what I may find if I let myself be me. Perhaps I will find joy or happiness, thing I cherish as they come to me rarely, but perhaps, as my fears dictate, I may find even more heartache and become broken. At least when I retreat behind the mask, it is not I who takes the fall. If I were to be exposed to the world, with no barrier in between, I fear I may fall, and shatter like porcelain. Nay, I shall not show the world my true face, I shall retreat onto my shelf with all of the other dolls and smile and be merry and go on pretending that everything is okay.

[glow=purple,2,300]I can relate to this one. I think many don't like to admit but we are all very vulnerable as far as emotions are concerned. We are so afraid of being hurt that we put up a shield. For some of us, that shield was let down and we did get hurt. Now the shield is is up again and we are aftraid of letting anyone in for fear of being hurt again. This was a great piece. good job Absinthe ;D[/glow]
